Three plays for Aspen
Lock min-7 across the ski-season high-yielding weeks.
Aspen premium ski demand is weekly. A 3-night booking at full ADR caps the week at ~40% take. Min-7 is the regional standard for the highest-yielding inventory.
Open Food & Wine + Ideas Festival weeks 9 months out.
Premium-tier event demand books 9–12 months ahead for downtown inventory. Late-opening hosts miss the early-bird segment.
Hold high during mud season — do not discount April-May.
Aspen's mud season (April-May) is genuinely empty. Discounting to fill it costs more in brand than it adds in revenue. Hold rates, take the empty calendar, capture summer at full price.
Why a generic AI can't do this for Aspen
Your live booking pace, the rates your three closest comps will charge next Friday, the 365-day calendar of events driving demand to your block — none of it is on the public web. We connect to all three, refresh every six hours, and cite the signal behind every recommendation. Read the full argument at our manifesto and the side-by-side at the comparison page.
FAQ · pricing in Aspen
Does restay work for premium-tier Aspen pricing?
Yes — the comp index includes the premium-tier inventory in your bed/bath/guest band. Hard ceilings are configurable per listing, and the agent respects them. The $2000 nightly ceiling is the system-wide floor; Aspen luxury listings can override that on a per-listing basis with config.
How does the agent handle Aspen's mud season?
It reads comp moves + your pacing. If comps hold rates flat in May and your pacing matches, the agent doesn't push a discount move. If comps drop and your pacing slips, the agent recommends a move — but you decide whether to take it.
My listing is on Red Mountain. Will the comp set drift to downtown?
Red Mountain comps pull Red Mountain comps within lat/lng radius. You can also pin specific listings to anchor the match.
How does this compare to Wheelhouse for Aspen?
